Cheers pete,
I was actually looking at the K10 but a lot of the shops said it was discontinued, and while it is still an awesome camera i just thought i had better play safe. I have seen some of your work Pete, you are a lucky boy
I will be asking for tips though and i need to find an idiots guide to photography, i dont mind doing a bit of learning i think its more satisfying when you get a good photo than using a point and shoot
